Disclaimer: I still do not own Naruto…

Recap:

"So…is this really the end for me and Sasuke?" Sakura asked Ino.

"No it is definitely not the end, he loves you and he will apologize I can guarantee you that! Sasuke might be a jerk sometimes but he will never hurt the girl he loves no matter what!" Ino said to Sakura who smiled.

"But, even if he apologizes I don't know if I'm ready to accept it yet, I don't want to be hurt again." Sakura said smile turned into a frown.

"Then give it some time, Sasuke will wait for you. I know he will." Ino said to Sakura smiling warmly. Sakura smiled back and fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.

Chapter 11: To Prove I'm Sorry

Sakura was first to wake up. She looked over at Ino who was sleeping soundly. She didn't want to wake her since she spent the whole night trying to make her happy. She headed downstairs and prepared some breakfast for Ino and herself when she heard her cell phone ring. She took it out of her pocket and looked at the caller id. "Sasuke" Sakura turned off her phone and continued preparing food. She just couldn't face Sasuke right now, she needed sometime alone, away from all the problems that had happened the day before. She heard the door bell ring and wondered who it would be this early. She walked over and opened it, just to see Sasuke standing in front of her.

"Sakura," Sasuke started to say when Sakura started closing the door on him but Sasuke put his hand against the door to stop it from closing. "Sakura, I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking straight yesterday…" Sasuke said pushing the door open wide while Sakura tried to push it closed.

"Is that all you have to say, if yes then good bye." Sakura said pushing Sasuke's hand from the door and slammed it shut in front of his face. Sasuke was stilling talking when the door closed. Sakura leaned against the door and she felt unnoticed tears slide down her cheeks, and wiped them away.

"Sakura, I'm sorry, I should have trusted you…I know you aren't like that…I'm so sorry Sakura…" Sasuke said banging on the door. Sakura's back was against the door as she slowly slid down and brought her knees close to her chest and hugged them burying her head in her arms, crying.

"Sakura, let me in, please…I'm really sorry…I thought it over, and I…I love you too much to imagine you with someone else, I was in shock yesterday that I wasn't thinking. I was so mad that you were with another guy… I'm sorry I accused you, I trust you, and I love you, now and forever, Sakura!!" Sasuke said still banging on the door. The words made Sakura cry even more. She knew she loved him, but was scared that her heart might be broken again. She sat there crying, until she finally heard Sasuke starting to walk down the steps from her door. She got up looked out the window and saw that Sasuke with his hands in his pocket and kicking a rock as he walked down the street. She walked upstairs to see that Ino was awake and brushing her hair. Ino noticed that Sakura's eyes were red and dropped her comb and went over to hug Sakura.

"He came, didn't he?" Ino said stroking Sakura's back soothingly.

"Yeah, he did, he said he was sorry, and he said…he said that he loved me…no one, not even Sai said that to me, Ino what do I do?" Sakura said crying again.

"Are you sure, you love him?" Ino said pulling Sakura away and her blue eyes looking deep into Sakura's green ones. Sakura nodded. "Then you should give him another chance, remember what I told you last night? I told you he would come, that only proves that he is sorry for misunderstanding, so I think he really is serious when he says he loves you."

"But I don't know how to talk to him again, it's so, strange…" Sakura said using the back of her hand and wiped away the remaining tears.

"You will have to eventually Sakura, you can't avoid him forever." Ino said.

"I know, Ino thank you, for staying with me. You're the best friend anyone can ever have." Sakura said smiling lightly and hugged her.

They spent the whole Saturday shopping at the mall buying limitless bags of clothing just hanging out, forgetting all the worries and problems. They got back to Sakura's house a little before five.

"Sakura, I'm sorry to leave you like this, but my mom needs my help at the flower shop." Ino said to Sakura who nodded.

"Yeah, that's fine I'll be fine alone." Sakura said smiling.

"Where are your parents, away again?" Ino said looking around to see no one was home. Sakura sighed and nodded. She was use to being alone since she was a little girl.

"Well, I'll call you later and check up on you okay? Bye!" Ino said taking her stuff and ran out of the Haruno house. Sakura's smile turned into a small frown. Truth be told, she wasn't okay, the whole day, she was never okay to begin with. The thoughts of Sasuke still floated in her mind. She walked upstairs and plopped down on her bed, staring at the ceiling, listening to her clock tick the time away. She heard her phone ring and took it out of her pants pocket. It was a text message. Sakura opened the file and read it.

"Sakura, I know you might never be able to forgive me for what I did and said to you, and I understand. But I want you to know that I will wait for you. I will wait, to prove that I am sorry. And I want you to know I will wait forever if I have to. I'm standing outside of your house right now, and I have something for you…so please come out and see me, because I really want, no I need to see you."

-Sasuke

Sakura read the text message over and over again. She started sobbing again. She really wanted to go out and see him, heck it was tearing her apart inside. But she was afraid, and couldn't bring herself to do it. Sakura laid on her bed and stared out the window and the dark gloomy sky. Sakura drifted off to sleep before she knew it. Four hours later she woke up and looked at the time. It was eight and it had started sprinkling out. She sighed and decided to go take a nice hot bath. Sakura came out an hour later nice and warm, and then she remembered about Sasuke, she looked at the window, it had started pouring rain. She glimpsed at the front of her house, and was shocked at what she saw. Sasuke was standing there blue t-shirt sticking to his body, hair drooping on the sides of his face, rain drops all over his serious and hurt face.

"I can't leave him out there like that," Sakura said to herself. She was so confused at what she should do. She couldn't leave him out there, but she couldn't face him just yet. She took a deep breathe. "Well I guess I have to take the risk." Sakura finally made up her mind to go out and get Sasuke. She ran downstairs and grabbed an umbrella and put on some slippers and slowly opened the door.

Outside, Sasuke was standing there, letting the cold rain pour on him. He didn't care what it took; he needed Sakura back in his life. He heard the door slowly open and stared at the door, making sure he wasn't hallucinating. Soon the door fully opened and there we saw standing, the cherry blossom.

"Sa…kura?" Sasuke said taking a step forward but fell forward. Sakura rushed to his side, in time to catch him before he hit the floor.

"Sasuke…Sasuke are you okay?" Sakura said looking at the unconscious boy in her arms. She felt his forehead and eyes widened in horror.

"Sasuke, you have a high fever!" Sakura said still no answer. She knew it was hopeless trying to talk to the Uchiha; he was totally out of it. Sakura used all her strength and helped Sasuke up to her room and put him on her bed. She ran out of the room and into the bathroom filling a small tub with cold water and got some towels then rushed back into her room. She soaked the towel with cold water and put it on Sasuke's burning forehead. Sakura took the other towels and wiped Sasuke pale face to help cool down the fever. She sighed.

"Sasuke, why…why did you do this for me?" Sakura said stroking Sasuke's cheek with her thumb. "Am I worth it? You have plenty other girls that are prettier then me, why do you like me, a girl with a wide forehead, pink hair and that is annoying? I hate seeing you like this, and I hate the knowing I caused you to be like this…the truth is Sasuke, I love you so much…but…I'm afraid," Sakura said tears slipping from her face. "Stupid little me is afraid to fall in love. That's the funniest thing I ever heard. Now I might not ever get a chance to tell you the truth." Sakura said looking at Sasuke. She sighed and was about to get up when she felt Sasuke grab her hand subconsciously. She looked down to see if Sasuke was awake, he wasn't.

"Sakura…don't go." Sasuke mumbled. Sakura smiled. Even when he was sleeping he thinks of her, she was so lucky to have someone like Sasuke love her. She tried pulling away lightly without waking Sasuke, but his grip was too strong. She finally gave in and sat beside the bed one hand in Sasuke's hand while her arms were on the bed and her head resting on them. She slowly drifted off to sleep with the rain splashing against her window.

Sasuke's eyes slowly opened, he rubbed his eyes to clear his vision. He tried to remember everything that happened the night before, but his head was killing him. He looked to his right and saw the sleeping cherry blossom, her hand in his. Sasuke smiled and pulled his hand away trying hard not to wake Sakura. He got up from bed and carried Sakura carefully and put her on the bed. He then walked downstairs into the kitchen to cook breakfast for her.

Sakura woke up a couple hours later. She looked around her surrounding and felt the softness of her bed realizing immediately she was on her bed and not Sasuke. She sat up and looked at the clock that read seven a.m. She got up and looked around the room for the raven haired Uchiha, but he was no where to be found. She walked downstairs, and into the kitchen where she found a nice little breakfast on the table and a note. She walked towards the table and sat down, picked up the note and read it.

Sakura,

Thanks for taking care of my last night; I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble. So I made you some breakfast to thank you. I left before you woke up, I didn't want to wake you and you probably didn't want to see my anyways. So enjoy, see you at school tomorrow.

Sakura smiled. After thinking about it half the night, she had finally decided even if it might break her heart again. She will talk to Sasuke and get everything cleared up and out of her mind, but she needs to find the perfect moment. She ate the very delicious breakfast and changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. She took out her phone and dialed a number.

"Hello?" She heard the Uchiha speak in his calm tone that always gives her butterflies.

"Sasuke…?"

"Sakura, what is it, are you okay?"Sasuke asked.

"I'm fine, I just wanted to thank you for the food, it was good." Sakura said nervously.

"Thanks, but I should thank you for taking care of my fever last night," Sasuke said to Sakura.

"Yeah, no problem…"

"Oh Sakura, I need to tell you something-"Sasuke didn't get to finish his sentence.

"Sasuke, I have to go, see you at school tomorrow bye." Sakura said quickly and hung up. She knew it was rude, but she couldn't help it, hearing his voice made her so nervous. It wasn't the right time. Sakura spent the whole day at home just thinking the time away...

The weekend went by quick for our little cherry blossom, and now it was monday morning. Sakura walked into homeroom, avoiding Sasuke's eyes and definitely Sai's. She walked to her seat and sat down. Sakura didn't pay attention to anything the teacher was saying. She gazed out the window and thought about Sasuke. The bell rang as Sakura got up walking right passed Sasuke who tried to talk to her, but didn't know what to say.

They ended up not talking for the whole day and avoiding one another, Sasuke thinking that Sakura didn't want to have anything to do with him and Sakura just being scared and thinking it wasn't the right time. By the end of the day Sakura was once again filled with sadness in her heart. She had told herself over and over that today was the day she and Sasuke make up, but it never happened. Sakura was at her locker, hoping Sasuke would come, but he never did. She sighed sadly and walked towards the exit of school. She walked around a corner and froze up. Sakura saw Sai sitting on a bench, but that wasn't what made Sakura's heart skip a beat, what shocked Sakura was the girl who was sitting on Sai's lap with her arms around his neck.
